| Wearable Electronics Seminar: Novel Applications and Components
Wearable electronics has emerged as a new form of electronics that combines sensors and wireless communication to allow monitoring of vital information autonomously. Unlike typical sensor networks, wearable electronics need to form conformal and intimate contact with objects to be monitored. Furthermore, they have to be comfortable to wear while providing accurate information. Myriad applications for wearable electronics range from health monitoring, disease detection, robotics, robotic surgery, implantable electronics, driverless cars, structural monitoring, virtual reality and augmented reality.

| Hard Earth Talk: Measuring Green Before you can trim your carbon footprint, you need to measure it. Every decision you make – what you eat, what you wear, how you travel – has a quantifiable environmental impact. The methodology to measure it is called life-cycle assessment. It’s messy. For example, the environmental impact of burning natural gas goes far beyond the burning; gas is used to make products from fertilizers to chemicals to plastics. Understanding the complexities of the details behind that chain will help you, in your own life, to begin to distinguish between environmental actions that just sound good and those that make a real difference.
